Therapists in Greenwich, CT

Hi, I am Dr Julia, director of Creative Therapies. Over thirty years I have developed and fine-tuned a unique, whole-child approach to child therapy. After your consultation, initial parent intake and goal setting, your child will enter therapy. Whether your child plays, draws, or talks, the challenges will present for healing, usually in the very first session, and often different from what the parents identified. Your child will play, resolve and master challenges. While unlike traditional child therapy you participate in weekly phone discussions, receive assignments, techniques and answers to your questions and concerns.

Anxiety is natural, and affects us at any age. It has been characterized as "My over-estimation of the danger in a situation, and my under-estimation of my ability to handle it." Avoidance is the easiest response, and understandable. It is also the response that gets us in trouble, and keeps us away from many of life's best experiences. Paralyzing panic before a big presentation. Don't start a conversation with that "person of interest" in your Chemistry class. Don't do that important homework for tomorrow, because Youtube is calling for escape. We can end up not living to our values, or our hopes. Freedom is calling.
